The article reflects on a disappointing May for the Red Sox, leading fans to question their attendance at games. Traditionally, the June series in Seattle draws many Sox fans, but recent performances have dampened enthusiasm. Ticket prices have risen, but attendance appeared lower last year. The writer struggled with whether to attend games due to expensive tickets and poor game outcomes, although recent player developments like Abraham Toro and Marcelo Mayer sparked some renewed interest.

The Sox series won't take place over a weekend. The schedule didn't change my plans, but I thought it was notable.
